To My Dear Mr. Huo

Su Qingsang shook her head. Her guilt and self-blame had almost disappeared before being disturbed by Zhang Mei’s family today.

Now, she still felt unease. She felt bad for Zhang Mei and the baby girl who never got a chance to see the world.

She felt so bad for the mother and daughter. They were still in the morgue but none of her family, including her husband, showed a hint of sorrow. Instead, they came to the hospital and created chaos.

“Wife.”

Huo Jingyao noticed that some of the attention was on Su Qingsang.

He reached out and held her in his arms protecting her from their gaze. Su Qingsang turned and looked at him.

The golden autumn sunshine was warm. His arms were strong and earnest, tightly encircled her in his arms. They gave her a great sense of security.

This sense of security lasted until she got into the car.

“Wife, you can be assured that this will all be okay.”

Huo Jinyao clasped Su Qingsang’s hand and gave her some support.

Su Qingsang looked at him and nodded her head. “Okay.”

Back home, Su Qingsang was still sad.

Huo Jinyao accompanied her into the room. Su Qingsang sat in the rocking chair and stared out of the window.

Seeing her like this, Huo Jinyao walked out of the room and grabbed a glass of water. When he came back in he sat down next to her.

The rocking chair was big but it was still a bit crowded for two people. At this point, Su Qingsang could not care less.

Taking the cup from Huo Jinyao’s hand, she took a sip. “I’m really sad.”

“I didn’t expect such a thing to happen in the hospital today.”

“What the hell is going on?” There was a lot of news on the Internet but Huo Jinyao did not believe it. He wanted to hear the truth from her.

Su Qingsang explained the incident from the beginning, ncluding how Zhang Mei fell and how she was brought to the hospital.

After she finished, she sighed, “I didn’t expect her family to come and make trouble the day after she jumped off the balcony.”

Huo Jinyao’s face was solemn, his lips pursed, and his eyes gazed at Su Qingsang’s side view.

“You have all the formalities?”

“Of course. Everything was signed.”

“When Zhang Mei jumped from the building yesterday, what was her family’s reaction?”

“I don’t know.” Su Qingsang was shocked by the suddenness of the incident. She had no time to observe the family’s reaction.

“The hospital said they had to suspend you?”

“It’s a temporary suspension. We have to wait for the results of the case to be made public.”

“What’s the worst scenario? What would it be?”

“Worst scenario?” Su Qingsang paused for a moment. “It’s not enough to get my license suspended. After all, I was not at fault. If the hospital is determined to sacrifice me as an explanation to the public, then I’ll just get fired.

That was the worst possibility.

Huo Jinyao nodded. “It doesn’t matter if you get fired. As long as you have your license you will be fine working,somewhere else.”

“How could it be the same?”

Su Qingsang took a look at him, but was reluctant to explain why she cared about the hospital so much. This was the first hospital she had interned in and the first one to hire her.

Her mentor was there too. She really doesn’t want to leave.

“Okay, okay. It would not be the same.”

Huo Jinyao took the cup from her hand and finished the cup. “Have a rest first. I’ll go order some takeout.”

“Okay.”

Sister Lu only came over to make dinner, she doesn’t come for breakfast and lunch.

Huo Jinyao bought the cup back to the kitchen and dialed a number.

“Find out what happened at the hospital this morning. I need all the information you can get me.”
